Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A lightweight, simple, fast, feature-filled, text editor written in C, and Lua
I actually authored something for this to work with my workflow on lite-xl (I compile a mid-sized C++ codebase on the regular).
It's still not really ready for release, but it's here, in case you're at all interested: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-ide; it's a build system and debugger integration.
The build tasks don't run in a terminal however; they move over to a build window at the bottom of the editor. The execution, however, by default, runs in whatever terminal you want to configure, so the actual program output does dump to an external terminal. Unfortunately, there is no truly integrated terminal as of yet.

Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
I remember a few years ago, a few really cool cross-platform UI libraries were starting to emerge such as libui [0] that got me excited. I've kind of lost track of them since then (libui itself went dormant for a while before this fork) so I am not sure how mature/useful they are now, but the potential for writing native desktop UIs in basically any language seemed like an absolute dream. Perhaps it's feasible for very basic things?

Zig instead of Rust.. and can it do these things?
There are a few libraries for GUI (for example, capy), and you can easily use any C libraries out there with @cImport (like libui), but it is still a work in progress.

Is it possible to build a gui which is both cross compatible and native?
It exists, at least for simple use cases. You are looking for libui-ng. wxWidgets of course also exists, but it is less a basic native wrapper than it is a complete toolkit emulating what doesn't exist where as libui seems to be more lowest common denominator (not sure but I think there might be a small amount of emulation, but not like wx I don't think).

There's now libui-ng [1] which seems to be active and already has many wrappers
